EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
PARK LIGHT DIDN'T GO OFF IN THE MORNING AT THE FIRST START. STOP, TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTART AGAIN, RELEASE PARK BRAKE, IT WAS STILL ON. IT TURNED OF AFTER ABOUT 5MIN LATER. NO OTHER ABNORMAL NOTICED. BRAKE OIL LEVEL IS IN GOOD. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON 13TH, 19TH, 20TH. DROVE TO DEALER, BUT THE LIGHT WORK WELL THAT DAY. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING IN THE CASE THE LIGHT WORK WELL. CALL HONDA COMPANY, THEY SUGGEST TO VISIT DEALER. NO OTHER SUGGESTION. ONLY SUGGEST VISIT DEALER WHILE IT IS ON. BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL NOT SAFE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES STARTING THE VERY FIRST YEAR THAT I BOUGHT MY 1998 ACCORD. I HAVE RECEIVED ERROR CODE P0401 INSUFFICIENT EGR FLOW DETECTED AND P1456 EVAP SYSTEM LEAK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS. I HAVE TRIED THE "GAS CAP NOT BEING TIGHT ENOUGH TRICK", I HAVE HAD THE CAR TEST FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND RECIEVES NO ERRORS. I ONLY USE MID GRADE GASOLINE BUT HAVE RECENTLY TRIED PREMIMIUM. I HAVE USED FUEL CLEANERS AND HAVE HAD THE EGR REPLACED. THIS LIGHT STILL COMES ON.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS WARNING LITE IS CONTINUALLY LIT AT 49,000 MILES. AFTER THE OBDII SCANNER WAS CONNECTED THE SYSTEM REPORTED CODE 7-1. CODE 7.1 REFERS TO SRS CONTROLLER UNIT FAILURE. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEANED. THE RECOMENED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROLLER UNIT AT A COST OF OVER 500 DOLLARS. THE SRS UNIT IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AS EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER ENGINE COMPUTERS ARE WARANTYED FOR 8/80,000 THE SRS UNIT IS NOT. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR I PURCHASED FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS OR AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT TENSIONERS. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE AND I MUST GO THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER TO REQUEST A WARANTY EXTENTION ON THE PART. RD MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.*AK

AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT IN MY 1997 ACCORD WAGON IS ON FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME HONDA SIMPLY TURNED IT OFF (AND CHARGED ME). NOW I WILL BE PAYING $1,000 TO HAVE THE SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON IN HONDAS AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEALER SHOULD PAY FOR OR HAVE HONDA RECALL. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED WITH HONDA - THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA - AND IT WILL SURELY BE MY LAST.*AK

BARKE ROTORS WARPED ON MY 2003 ACCORD WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES ON THEM- DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS AND PUT ON NEW PADS; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA REGARDING THE PROBLEM- THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE- ALL AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE GIVEN NEW ROTORS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION IN MY ACCORD WENT OUT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE IN GEARING AND CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD WHILE EVEN ON THE BRAKE. IF THE CAR WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE, IF ON A SLIGHT HILL, THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS BEFORE CATCHING GEARS AND ACTING THE PROPER WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS. FAILED TRANSMISSION IN 2 DIFFERNENT LATE 1990S HONDA CARS. THE FIRST BEING A 1998 HONDA CIVIC HX COUPE WITH VORTECH ENGINE AND THE SECOND BEING A 1999 HONDA ACCORD 4DR EX V6 (VORTECH) ENGINE. TRANMISSION FAILURE BETWEEN 80K AND 110K MILES. FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HONDAS. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
MISSING FRONT BUMPER BOLTS CLEARLY INDICATED MY ALLEGEDLY NEW 2001 ACCORD'S BUMPER HAD BEEN REPLACED. CALIFORNIA-HONDA REPRESENTATIVE VISIITNG THE DEALERSHIP SAID SHE "COULDN'T EXPLAIN" HOW THE BOLTS COULD HAVE SLIPPED THROUGH HOLES SMALLER THAN THE BOLTHEADS, BUT THAT MY COMPAINT MERELY INDICATED I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE CAR, OR I SOMEHOW DISLODGED THE BOLTS, AND ANYHOW THAT WAS TOO BAD. SPECIFICALLY, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO SELL A NEW CAR THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. A DEALERSHIP MECHANIC THEN SHOUTED AT MY WIFE AND I TO "GET OUT" OF HIS BUSY GARAGE. THE DEALERSHIP'S MANAGER (NOT PRESENT DURING THE DISPUTE) SUBSEQUENTLY RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT WITH BBB BY IGNORING THE COMPLAINT AND PRAISING HIS GARAGE STAFF WHO, HE ASSURED BBB, TOLD HIM EVERYTHING. EVENTUALLY I DISCOVERED THAT BBB NOT ONLY REJECTED MY COMPLAINT BUT ALSO DID NOT BOTHER TO REGISTERIT AS A COMPLAINTT. WHENI POINTED OUT ITS OMISSION, BBB FINALLY NOTED THE COMPLAINT--AS THE ONLY ONE AGAINST THIS LARGE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS A BBB MEMBER,AND DESCRIBED THE COMPLAINT AS "RESOLVED." IT WAS NOT. MY WIFE, ACCOMPANYING ME AT THE GARAGE INCIDENT THOUGH ILL WITH PANCREATIC CANCER, HAS SINCE DIED, AND SUCH WERE TIMES THAT DID NOT ENCOURAGE MY PURSUING EITHER BBB OR THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, LOCATED IN BLOOMSBURG, PA, FOR WHAT I HAD SUPPOSED WOULD BE SIMPLE ANWERS, NOT DEFENSIVE EVASIONS.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD EX. FOR LAST 3-4 MONTHS STARTED NOTICING THAT THE ACCELERATOR STICKS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO DRIVE. ON APPLYING MORE THAN NORMAL PRESSURE IT SUDDENLY RELEASES AND VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD. MY MILEAGE IS ONLY 54,000 NOW. TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN HARTFORD AND HE SAYS I NEED TO SHELL OUT NEARLY 200 BUCKS TO GET THROTTLE CLEANED, THIS DESPITE REGULAR MAINTAINANCE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND WHO GOT THROTTLE CLEANED AND IT WAS GIVING SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER 2000 MILES, SO WHAT'S THE GURANTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. MONEY IS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME, BUT SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HONDA SHOULD BE FIXING AND NOT DENYING. I HAVE NEARLY CRASHED INTO OTHER CARS IN THE PARKING LOT, ALMOST HIT THE PARKING LOT ENTERANCE GATE AS THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE RACES FORWARD. I DID NOT EXPECT THIS FROM A HONDA, IT HAS BEEN FLAWLESSLY WORKING SO FAR.*AK

AIR BAGS
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS 60,000 MILES. A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAGS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, WHICH IS BOTHERSOME SINCE I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS. THERE APPARENTLY ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR CARS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED HONDA TODAY, THEY SAID THAT MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED IN THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS CORRECTED AND BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CARS FROM MY YEAR. I HAVE HAD NO RECENT IMPACTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS. IT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.*AK
